Justin Fields is participating in the 11-on-11 during walkthrough — it’s basically a jog though. TBD on if he’s full go. But he’s on a good track.

This is a good sign after last week's toe injury scare, as there's still plenty of time to get him all the way up to full speed. Projecting high passing totals will be a little iffy, but we know what kind of floor he creates with his legs, making him a fringe QB1 option.

Notable that Justin Fields is not walking with a limp and seems to be moving around ok.

Good news for Fields' availability through the rest of camp, but they may end up limiting his action in contact drills for a bit. Unless something changes, we should keep him right in line with where we had him ranked before this injury scare.

Justin Fields sustained a dislocated toe in his right foot and will be day-to-day. Fields avoided serious injury and significant missed time.

Great news out of Jets camp, as we all know how valuable Fields can be as a fantasy player when he's suited up. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but this doesn't seem like it will impact his Week 1 status.

Justin Fields is being carted inside after limping off and being checked by a trainer. Not great.

Not a good start for Fields' Jets tenure, but he was at least walking prior to this, so hopefully it's more of a precaution than anything. We'll keep an eye on it moving forward, but veteran Tyrod Taylor would be next in line if this is more serious than just rolling an ankle.

The Jets ran the ball less than any team last season. The biggest reason for that (Aaron Rodgers) is gone. It would not shock me if the Jets went from last to first in terms of rushing attempts — the product of a run-first scheme led by offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, and the dynamic, dual-threat quarterbacking of Justin Fields in the fray. The Jets are modeling their offense after the one Engstrand and Aaron Glenn came from in Detroit, where, in theory at least, Breece Hall would play the Jahmyr Gibbs role while Braelon Allen would step in as the David Montgomery, power-running type. — Zack Rosenblatt

Those are pretty big expectations, but the thought of it is exciting. Rosenblatt went on to say Allen was a training camp breakout last year who never got a chance to get going in a bad offense, but he’ll have plenty of opportunities in 2025 to make his mark and prove he can be the long-term starter with Hall in the last year of his contract.

Jets and wide receiver Garrett Wilson reached agreement on a four-year, $130 million contract extension that includes $90 million guaranteed.

It marks the first time in NFL history that a receiver has received an average over $31 million after playing only three seasons. Wilson now will be under contract the next six seasons, through 2030.

This is a massive vote of confidence from a team that desperately needs Wilson to play out of his mind to support a middling group of pass-catchers. Justin Fields isn't likely to be a voluminous passer, but Wilson presents an obvious opportunity to soak up a ton of the target share in 2025. We currently have him ranked as a mid-tier WR2.

After a strong offseason, Reynolds is the clear-cut leader for the WR2 job. He arrived with little fanfare as a free agent (one year, $2.8 million), mainly because of a down 2024 with the Broncos and Jaguars. It also was a turbulent year; he suffered arm and head wounds in a shooting.

New Jets coach Aaron Glenn knows Reynolds from their time in Detroit, where the 30-year-old receiver was a solid complementary option. Beyond Garrett Wilson, the Jets lack big-play ability after cutting Davante Adams. Reynolds has separated from Allen Lazard and others.

This seems a little surprising, until you look at the rest of the depth chart, that is. With Justin Fields at the helm, we should expect a very run-heavy offense in New York, and even if he loses the job, we would expect more of the same from Tyrod Taylor. Reynolds makes for an interesting stacking partner with Fields, though he's much closer to a fantasy WR5 than a WR2.

The Jets are signing FA WR Josh Reynolds today, sources say, and he gets a 1-year deal worth up to $5M.

Reynolds played for the Broncos last year, and GM Darren Mougey is more than familiar. Also recently spent time with the Jaguars, Lions and Titans.

Not much fantasy value hiding here, though it is a nice depth piece for Justin Fields or a prospective rookie signal caller.

The Jets are signing QB Justin Fields, as Gang Green gets a new starter. Fields says goodbye to Pittsburgh after 1 year.

He gets a 2-year deal worth $40M with $30M guaranteed in deal.

Related Players: Russell Wilson, Tyrod Taylor

We'll see if this pushes Pittsburgh to bring Wilson back, but for now, New York will move forward with a 26-year-old in a new home. The Jets will likely look to move the ball on the ground as much as possible, but it's not as if that's not what the Steelers were doing in '24. A full year as a starter puts Fields in legitimate QB1 conversation, with Garrett Wilson contributing to his floor.

Geno Smith is being traded to Las Vegas Raiders for a third round pick, per sources.

Related Players: Aidan O'Connell, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell

We'll see where the Seahawks end up landing, but we can presume that the answer probably isn't Sam Howell. As for the Raiders, they now have a far more consistent option to bridge the gap to their future franchise QB.
